You know what the graph of the daily ups and downs of the stock market looks like. It's a spiky line. In my Mac dashboard widget, I can look at the spiky line for the day, the week, the month, six months, a year, and two years. What I would like to track is the quality of my days in a spiky line.
Of course, one has to choose a factor or a group of factors to index every day, and I have contemplated what kind of data I am most interested in tracking. Is it the phenomenon of having great variations in sociability, or the variety of physical states of well-being (and absence thereof), or the sense of self-confidence going up and down? Is it the gross daily time management data, on a numerical scale? Perhaps the ratio of sleep hours to one or more of these factors? And then there may be an aggregate of all of these and more, melded into a mental well-being index. That would be exciting to follow.
What to call it? The Tim Lale domestic average? The Tim Lale Mental Health Exchange index? The Ooltewah Loonie count?
The long-term effect of collecting the data and graphing it will be similar to the historical data of the stock exchange. It might tell something important, but no one really knows what it is. But for some reason, I like looking at it. I look at where I've been and how the days have gone, and I think to myself, Yep.
